Copyright and to protect its name, music and images from misuse.
Ownership
of Copyright
“The
Copyright of The Retinue of Thomas, Lord Burgh K.G 1460-96ã

otherwise agreed in writing in advance of any performance.
The
said Copyright Performance includes the written and spoken word in
addition to visual presentations.”
Waiver
of Copyright
Members
of the Society and members of the public are permitted to make
still, moving and sound recordings of Copyright Performances without
prior application of permission, so long as the recordings that are
made are for personal and private use of the individual making the
recording.
Apart
from reasonable use during private editing, the copying of movie or
stills, negatives (electronic or digital), and/or prints and video
camera and/or subsequent masters is expressly viewed as a breach of
Copyright.
